Subject: [PATCH] wl12xx: simplify wl1271_ssid_set()
Date: Sun,  1 May 2011 09:56:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1304233005-20249-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)

Simplify wl1271_ssid_set by re-using cfg80211_find_ie instead of
reimplementing it.

Additionally, add a length check to prevent a potential buffer overflow.
